Tea on Social Media (Facebook Lists)

Greetings Friends,

For those of you who don’t know, Facebook has a nifty feature called “Interest Lists” wherein individuals can create Lists that act as feeds for topics of their choice. Other people, in turn, can subscribe to these lists.

These are quite functional. If you subscribe to a List, the best content from that list will show up in your news feed.

I have created a List, aptly named “Tea” that I encourage interested people to explore. I have only included the people and companies that post the most interesting content to social media (my apologies Lipton): https://www.facebook.com/lists/10100975436075240

In particular, I would like your advice on curating this List. What are some active and interesting tea companies on social media that I can add? I am seeking the best content: not the pages that blindly harp on their newest product, but those pages that share interesting photos, quotes, facts, stories, contests, et cetera.

oh, and maybe Andrews & Dunham (if you’re not offended/concerned about their use of the D-word) since that seems to be the only way to find out when they release a new tea (a rare, but much heralded event) https://www.facebook.com/damnfinetea

I’m familiar with Andrews and Dunham—their language doesn’t bother me, it’s all part of their unique brand. I had originally put them on the list, but I noticed they didn’t post anything, so I removed them. I will re-add. Thanks!

You have been added to the list—remember to subscribe to the list as well. The more subscribers there are, the more exposure the list gets—so casual tea drinkers will be able to find the list easier and explore the best content in tea.

Aloha, I am starting up a tea business right now in Hawaii called Tealet. Our mission is to leverage community and technology to build bridges between tea growers and drinkers. We are very active on social media, I recommend that you check out our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Tealet)

What a wonderful idea! We now have a very active blog on our website called Tea Talk & Tips which you can see at http://blog.innteas.com/. These blogs are also posted to our In Nature Teas Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/innteas where we also share details of our tastings and the occasional tea-related picture! It would be great if you could consider adding us :)
